[SVCBeercats]

I dunno about anybody else, but I'm consistently finding the B's more difficult.

I explicitly agree with you. Others implicitly agree with you, since the "A" part had 13 replies and the "B" part had just 6. But that is OK, since we love a challenge.

 

[huskyrob1]

SVC, as an echo of Big,
Wonders if I give a fig,
That part A one can swing.
It makes him sing,
A bird on the wing.

Then frustration brews
He spits; he chews.
He dares not consult Bing,
When the Bees , they do sting.
Is it a nefarious plot?
When few is all he's got.

But the S and the Big will be back
And gleefully give ever more flack.



14..One can say Mother Superior and Sister Maria, as VAUC did.
Or Peggy Wood (dubbed by Margery McKay) to Julie Andrews, as husky sort of did.

17..SVC and rocket cite a motorcycle mishap.

19..Husky, that's no explanation. Wait out in the hall, for the vice-principal will be there shortly.
See SVC or Big.

20..Rbny & Rocket take us to New Orleans.

21..Snowboarding, to be exact. In this case VAUC & rocket are exact, but they wipe out every time they launch it.

23..SVC knows Rafa is looking very sharp in prep for the French. He's playing the Rome tournament this week. No, not SVC, silly.

24..Rocket recites, "Here's one thing that the same as the other thing". Long watching Sesame Street will do that.
And Meyers throws in Amy Lee for good measure. Who asked him?

25..SVC is revealing how his mind works. TMI!!! Big & rocket also come up with Peru.

So 16 & 22 and I'll announce you perfect.

Not trying to be technical, but I don't think she was called "Mother Superior" in the film like in the Flying Nun TV show. Her name was "Mother Abess" and was referred to as Reverend Mother.

 

[SVCBeercats]

15..New C________ (sounds something like "California").

New Kalli-donia

 

[SVCBeercats]

18..Once upon a time had a cozy oil relationship with Cuba. Nowadays in serious disarray.
.

Venezuela

Actually, regarding Wirechief, SVC knows if the choice is auto racing or tennis, choose tennis every time.

OK (What do you sound like when you ARE trying to be technical?)

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Not trying to be technical, but I don't think she was called "Mother Superior" in the film like in the Flying Nun TV show. Her name was "Mother Abess" and was referred to as Reverend Mother.

Reverend Mother is just a title like "your eminence" or "your reverence". And her "name" certainly wasn't "Mother Abess", her position was "Mother Abbess", which, in the end, is exactly what a Mother Superior is. "Just to be technical".

PS - I am just being funny, in a way, not really critical.

 

[huskyrob1]

Reverend Mother is just a title like "your eminence" or "your reverence".

Who cares? The point is, that Reverend Mother is what everyone called her in the film. I guess I was being technical. Lol. Knowing how technical Alex Trebek and the judges are on Jeopardy, "Mother Superior" might have been wrong while "the Reverend Mother" or "Mother Abbess" would have been accepted.

 

[wire chief]

You are looking for a city.

 

[Bigboote]

16 -- Shreveport?

 

[wire chief]

16 -- Shreveport?

Shreveport is correct.
